The Holy Fire from Jerusalem, the same Holy Fire that descends on the Holy Sepulcher there every Holy Saturday, will reach the Michigan Deanery at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 27. Our St. Vladimir parish will receive the flame, and after lighting all the lamps in the parish church, a Thanksgiving Moleben will be held. Following the moleben the faithful will have the opportunity to venerate the icons of the Lord's Resurrection and of Thomas Sunday, and access the flame to bring home for themselves if this is desired. It is important that those who wish to bring the Fire home bring a suitably safe lantern or other vessel in which to transport the flame in their vehicles. All are welcome.
